My Very Favorite Iced Tea Recipe

When I was growing up, I didn’t like tea. My parents weren’t really tea drinkers and we never had it at our house. If we went somewhere and were offered our choice of iced tea or water, I always took water. And the one or two times, the hostess served everyone iced tea, without even asking, I was quite distraught.

Then I came to Kansas. I soon observed that it seemed like everyone in Kansas drank iced tea. I mean, everyone! 😉

I considered iced tea a Kansas thing. Now, I think that it is partly a farmer thing, maybe??? Thinking back, I remember going to my uncle and aunt’s house. He was a farmer and they often had iced tea. He liked to mix lemonade and iced tea together. That didn’t go over with me either! I liked lemonade, but not tea. Why would you ruin lemondae?! Now, I think it’s tasty, on occasion. I also learned, maybe last year sometime???, that half lemonade and half tea is called an Arnold Palmer. A bit of trivia I’d never heard before! But I am far from being up on all trivia and sports figures and famous people and news, old or new! I do enjoy trivia. I do like some sports. All the drama of local news, I’m not all that interested in. I have my interests and authors and Bible studies and books and movies that I like and I’m good with that stuff most of the time! 🙂

But, we were talking about iced tea. Somewhere along the line, and greatly influenced by marrying a Kansas guy who loves iced tea, I learned to make tea. I also learned to like it! I even drink hot tea now and then. My farmer man pretty much just sticks with his iced tea.

Another bit of trivia~ I realized a few years ago that sweet tea {I thought we liked it sweet, but I’m talking really sweet tea!} is very much a southern thing. I’m intrigued at the customs and likes of cultures and areas.

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light of the world-like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don't hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
